Modern Slavery Statement for Man With A Van Brixton

Man With A Van Brixton is committed to conducting business with integrity, fairness, and respect for human rights. This Modern Slavery Statement sets out our zero-tolerance policy toward slavery, servitude, forced labour, and human trafficking in any part of our operations or supply chain. We recognise that modern slavery can occur in many forms, and we take active steps to prevent, identify, and address any risk connected with our activities.

As a local moving and transport service, Man With A Van Brixton depends on responsible working relationships with suppliers, contractors, and partners. We expect every party we work with to uphold legal and ethical standards. Our approach is based on prevention, vigilance, and accountability, supported by clear internal expectations and ongoing review.

Our Commitment

We will not tolerate any form of modern slavery within Man With A Van Brixton or among those who supply goods and services to us. This commitment applies to recruitment, employment practices, subcontracting, and procurement decisions. All managers and team members are expected to remain alert to warning signs such as coercion, withheld wages, restricted movement, unsafe housing, or documents being retained by others.

Our policies are designed to ensure that everyone working with Man With A Van Brixton is treated fairly and lawfully. We seek to maintain transparent hiring practices, verify the right to work where required, and avoid any arrangement that could expose workers to exploitation. Any concerns are taken seriously and investigated promptly.

Supplier Audits and Due Diligence

Supplier audits form a key part of our control framework. We assess new and existing suppliers based on risk, including location, service type, workforce practices, and the nature of the goods or services provided. Where appropriate, we request evidence of compliance with employment law, wage standards, and anti-slavery controls. We may also carry out document reviews or follow-up checks to confirm that suppliers maintain acceptable standards.

If a supplier is found to be non-compliant, we will require corrective action within a defined period. Where the issue is serious or unresolved, we reserve the right to suspend or end the relationship. This process helps ensure that Man With A Van Brixton does not inadvertently support exploitative labour practices.

We also seek to raise awareness internally so that modern slavery risks are understood by those involved in sourcing, operations, and supervision. Training and communication help staff recognise suspicious behaviour and respond appropriately. Our aim is to create a culture in which ethical conduct is expected and protected.

Reporting Channels

Anyone who suspects modern slavery, unsafe recruitment, or unethical treatment within the Man With A Van Brixton network is encouraged to report it without delay. Concerns may be raised through internal management routes, and all reports are handled confidentially where possible. We do not permit retaliation against any individual who raises a genuine concern in good faith. Reports are reviewed promptly, and action is taken according to the seriousness of the issue.

Our reporting arrangements are intended to support openness and early intervention. If a concern suggests immediate harm or severe exploitation, escalation is prioritised so that the appropriate response can be taken swiftly. This process reinforces our zero-tolerance policy and helps safeguard vulnerable workers.

Annual Review and Continuous Improvement

This statement and our related controls are reviewed annually to ensure they remain effective and relevant. The review considers changes in legislation, business activities, supplier risk, and any incidents or concerns raised during the year. If improvements are needed, we update our policies, monitoring, and training accordingly. Through this ongoing review, Man With A Van Brixton continues to strengthen its approach to preventing modern slavery and protecting human dignity throughout its operations and supply chain.

Man With A Van Brixton is committed to acting responsibly, learning continuously, and maintaining high ethical standards in every aspect of its work. By combining prevention, supplier audits, clear reporting channels, and annual review, we aim to ensure that exploitation has no place in our business.
